stars has only cap tables I believe, and I play them from time to time for a change of pace, as mentioned above and usually if I don't have time for a mtt. I'm not gonna play for any big stakes yet as I'm sort of just practicing so I usually entertain myself at .10/.20. I really should play higher but it's so entertaining at these levels
If you've got some time though, you can easily turn a $4 buyin to $20 in an hour.
you really need to see these HH's and tell me what this guy was thinking on the river, calling...only 2 of many hands. I started w/ $4 and cashed out w/ $18 in about $30 mins.
ez money imo:
this was my 1st hand. Good sign...
